Ultralight dark matter (ULDM) is an alternative to cold dark matter where the particle mass is so light that the wavelike dynamics of the field produce observable impacts on structure. Some of the strongest constraints on this model come from analyses of small scale structure. For example, the oscillating density substructure which is typical of ULDM can dynamically heat the stellar...
